And thank God we came back from down 0-2 to,win last year.

Brewers got there in 1982 and in forty years never made it back.



I'm so grateful I got to experience 2011 and 2021. In my over 4 decades of sports Fandom they are lifelong memories I'm going to cherish forever. There's no feeling like it.

I was barely in my 20s for the 1997 so I got to experience it as part of the state of WI but not in person. I decided as an adult with a job next time there's a championship I want to be there.

I know it shouldn't be this rewarding, but seriously you put on any of these three championship videos and I'm getting goosebumps and holding back tears on the spot.

To this day u put on black eyed peas and I get emotional it brings me back to the halftime show and I'm in Dallas.

Well, we are not the Champs anymore. I'm sooo glad it was the Warriors and not the Celtics.

It has been an awesome year of being the Champs. Onto next season.

I don't usually gamble...like at all.

But I worked a lot of OT over the past 3 months and stacked a bunch of money. I put thousands on GSW to win it once I saw they were facing the Celtics.

Used most of the winnings towards my school payments, but used 20% to purchase three Giannis autographed items.

I already have a nice case for the Giannis ball. Does anyone have good suggestions on ways to encase the trophy or frame the jersey the best?

Congrats on the W's and the new gear, those will be priceless eventually.

For my Giannis autographed jersey, I just put it in one of these and it's perfect --

We watched a bit of the heat series. We watched 15-16 minutes per game highlights of 1-6 of nets series and watched the entire game 7.


We aren't going to watch Atlanta. I get too freaked out over thinking about Giannis's knee. Maybe we will watch a couple highlights.

Then we will watch each game of the finals.

She was asking the beginning of the Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Chant. When it became arena wide.

I think it was the Atlanta series right? Was it game 5? Or did it happen earlier?? I know he had an impactful start to the series so maybe it was game 2?

Anyone remember the first arena wide. Bobby chant?


Game 2 is when they started. They exploded in game 5.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ALL MY FELLOW BUCKS FANS!

Today is such an incredible day and it still feels epic. I just finished watching the playoff run with my daughter, we finished game 6 on Sunday then immediately watched the all access bucks YouTube video.

Maybe I'll watch the parade video tonight... Feels so good man.




I told my friend at the gym I think I was more excited about this anniversary than the other one.... Just don't tell my wife that.

We woke up a year ago, full of hope, but aware of the uncertainty of what could unfold.

The result never seem assured. For me it was always " This could be happening", as seconds clicked off the clock. What a night.

Happy July 20 to all.

I still can't believe this was real!

What a fking day and time to be alive in Milwaukee

Stayed out until 3am at the Pabst Brewery after the game, couldn't get a cab or uber, ended up walking home on Brady St. where people were still partying at 4am. I got home and the game was being replayed, I think I went to sleep around 6am and slept the entire day.

If you want to rewatch tonight with Bucks fans in Milwaukee

The shot starting at 1:50 was when I became incredibly confident we were winning it.

For me it wasn't until the jump hook with 3 minutes left. Remember saying out loud "If he's hitting those shots, it's destiny". That's still the shot that, if Giannis masters it, he's completely unstoppable.

He's not far away either. Those last three games against Boston he started going back to his hooks and floaters and they looked smooth. I also remember him dominating Gobert in March on national TV when he used a few of those same hooks to score at will against him. He should just make it his go-to move in the half-court and spam the crap out of it.

For me, in Game 6, it was the early block of a breakaway Bridges layup. Both teams came out overhyped and committed like 100 turnovers, but then Bridges broke away for what seemed to be an easy layup until Gianni erased it. Sure, the game wasn't in hand until a couple of minutes left but that block let me know that Freak was like "Not today, kids."

I didn't feel comfortable until the sexy Midds elbow fadeaway with 50 seconds. Being there and watching the final minutes still gives me chills up and down. What a moment, 3rd greatest in my life (I have to say my marriage and daughter being born first).

I forgot to take my ticket off the TicketMaster marketplace after flying on a redeye from LA to MKE just for the night and getting too drunk, flying back to LA at the ass crack of dawn the next day. I bought a nosebleed for $500 during Game 4 and it sold for $2500 the morning of the game but I still regret it.

I watched from my local watering hole from when I lived on the Eastside-- when Khris made that jumper it was pure euphoria, wish I could have felt that energy inside the Forum.

I was nervous AF all day and all game.

My friend face timed me at 3:30pm from NYC as we were driving downtown and said we looked so frigging anxious he still laughs about it.

Cmon man, 40 years of bucks Fandom how many times has this team broken our hearts. How the heck could I be confident!? Everytime we got a run phx answered or we had a turnover.

I still couldn't let myself celebrate, I still had fear or bucks doubt.

Then Khris hits that beautiful jumper with 56 seconds left and it finally hit me.... OMG. OMG.

IT'S HAPPENING, WE ARE ABOUT TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

I literally can't forget that moment. That jumper like broke a dam and 50 years of futility flooded away and bucks loser attitude just fell away.

**** bonkers, man. It's only been a year but I still forget how many spectacular plays he made.

Just watched a 2022 highlight mix and have determined it is impossible to remember how unbelievable he is. The human mind is too limited to store Giannis Antetokounmpo.
